Considered one of the country's brightest teachers of psychotherapy, Dr. Keeney has been at the forefront of significant changes in the field over the past twenty years. His writings have been published throughout the world by academic presses, and he has worked at some of the most prestigious psychotherapy institutions in the United States. Seeking to offer people a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us.The son of a minister, Dr. Keeney realized from an early age that the only way to achieve peace with himself was to discover his own spiritual path. He has spent years experiencing the teachings of holy men and women on the meaning of spiritual awareness, and has been initiated into the mystical practices of indigenous peoples of North and South America, as well as the Bushmen of the Kalahari. Dr Keeney is one of a handful of people who have been taught the all but extinct Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Offering experiences from his own life, Keeney skillfully incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life - from sleep to relationships, from work to your movement through the world - toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light.
